Sustainable energy SusEn

The challenges faced by energy research include, in particular, harmonisation of environmental effects and economic edge conditions as well as the optimal use of renewable natural resources for raw materials and energy. Energy solutions are key issues in terms of the present and future well-being of all mankind. Indeed, future energy solutions are significantly affected by their possible effects on human health and well-being.

The Academy of Finland funded the Sustainable Energy (SusEn) Research Programme with 19,3 million euros.

The other national funding agencies of the programme are Maj and Tor Nessling Foundation, Fortum Oyj, UPM-Kymmene Oyj and Neste Oil Oyj.
